Ronald "Skip" Greer is the lead vocalist for the
Wynona Riders from 1992 through 1996 and has also performed with East Bay Ray and the Killer Smiles and the Lightouts.[5][6][7]
Greer is known for being a high-energy performer and being physically interactive with the audience.[8][9][10] Greer's songwriting style has been called "more poetic" than that of his DK predecessor, though he has only written songs for the Killer Smiles.[11] DK bassist Klaus Flouride has said this was what the band was looking for, saying "Skip is a good singer, a good performer, but he doesn't do Biafra."[12]
